June 3rd, 2024 at 09:16 am

We shall examine the July 2024 Visa Bulletin in this blog post, with a particular emphasis on family visa Tables A and B. When people can apply for visas and change their status, the Visa Bulletin is a key resource. To predict the advancement in Visa categories, this research will take historical trends, movement patterns, and statistical projections into account.

What is the Visa Bulletin?

Since October 2015, the State Department has managed the issuing of visas and given the immigration process structure through the Visa Bulletin, an organizational chart. There have been two tables in it.

• Table A: final action dates
• Table B: dates for filing

Table B shows when an applicant can submit evidence to the National Visa Center (NVC) and possibly petition for an adjustment of status, while Table A specifies when an application might anticipate receiving a visa.

Fiscal Year Quarters

The four quarters of the fiscal year (FY) are October 1 through September 30.

• Q1: October 1–December 31
• Q2: January 1–March 31
• Q3: April 1–June 30
• Q4: July 1–September 30

Visa processing speeds vary every quarter, which has an impact on how Visa categories evolve.

Historical Movement Trends

Certain months traditionally saw greater activity than others, according to historical data and artificial intelligence (AI) studies.

• Least movement months: December, January, February, August, and June
• Most movement months: May, July, September, April, and March

These patterns assist in forecasting how quickly Visa may advance in future bulletins.

Current Status and Predictions

A total of 281,000 visas, including 129,000 family preference visas, have been granted as of March 31, 2024. This means that roughly 97,000 visas are still pending for FY 2024.
